Scandanavian antique silver Hovedvandsag Luktevannshus probably from either Norway or Denmark, sometimes referred to as a Spice box, vinaigrette or Scent Heart given by young men as love tokens to the intendeds.
This one has an unknown crest to each side, opens and closes with a good pleasing clickwith no wear to the actual hinge.
The crown is missing a small piece from the very top otherwise in good order.
The base is stamped (AS) 4 times and this will obviously be the maker.
Names which may be the maker are Anders Steensen, Andreas Gundersen Svindland, both of these names worked at different times so without knowing which one it is or indeed if it is one of these two we can not be exact with an age for the item.
Measures 70mm tall.
